Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e too much windy.
- "Windy" in the sentence is an adjective.
- When a noun indicates a quantity, the adjective "too much" is used first.
- In the above sentence, the adjective "too much" before "windy" is incorrect.
- In order to modify the adjectives adverb "much too" is used before adjectives.
- Hence, " much too" should be used in the place of "too much".
- The Correct sentence is-
When she went for a walk Maya couldn't take off her scarf because it was much too windy.
